Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about One User Avatar | User Profile Picture

First, choose a theme that has avatar support. In your theme, you have a choice of manually replacing get_avatar with get_wp_user_avatar, or leaving get_avatar as-is. Here are the differences: get_wp_user_avatar Allows you to use the values "original", "large", "medium", or "thumbnail" for your avatar size.

Allows you to use custom image sizes registered with add_image_size (fixed width and height are added to the image). Optionally adds CSS classes "alignleft", "alignright", or "aligncenter" to position your avatar. Shows nothing if the user has no One User Avatar image. Shows the user's Gravatar avatar or Default Avatar only if "Show Avatars" is enabled in your One User Avatar settings. get_avatar Requires you to enable "Show Avatars" in your One User Avatar settings to show any avatars. Accepts only numeric values for your avatar size. Always adds a fixed width and height to your image. This may cause problems if you use responsive CSS in your theme. Shows the user's Gravatar avatar or Default Avatar if the user doesn't have a One User Avatar image. (Choosing "Blank" as your Default Avatar still generates a transparent image file.) Requires no changes to your theme files if you are currently using get_avatar. Read more about get_avatar in the WordPress Function Reference.

In your One User Avatar settings, you can upload your own Default Avatar.

In your One User Avatar settings, you can select "Disable Gravatar — Use only local avatars" to disable all Gravatar avatars on your site and replace them with your Default Avatar. This will affect your registered users and non-registered comment authors.

Yes, if you enable "Allow Contributors & Subscribers to upload avatars" in the One User Avatar settings. These users will see a slightly different interface because they are allowed only one image upload.

Yes, for registered users. Non-registered comment authors will show their Gravatar avatars or Default Avatar.

Yes!

No, BuddyPress has its own custom avatar functions and One User Avatar will override only some of them. It's best to use BuddyPress without One User Avatar.

For Administrators, One User Avatar adds a column with avatar thumbnails to your Users list table. If "Show Avatars" is enabled in your One User Avatar settings, you will see avatars to the left of each username instead of in a new column.

Yes, you can use the [avatar_upload] shortcode to put a standalone uploader in a front page or widget. This uploader is only visible to logged-in users.. You can specify a user with the shortcode, but you must have 'edit_user' capability to change the user's avatar. [avatar_upload user="admin"]
